The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

This documentary follows Olympic freestyle skier Jossi Wells as he joins the Flying Frenchies, a group of extreme sports performers. Together they explore what freedom means and why people risk everything to feel it. The film shows men pushing themselves to the edge, facing moments where death could be right around the corner.
